4 Device description Dust bin and filter ON/OFF Mains power switch HOME buon START/PAUSE buon Robot vacuum cleaner Status indicators18

4.1 Robot vacuum cleaner status indicator

Baery The baery icon informs you of the baery status. If it lights up, it means that the baery level is sucient. When it starts to flash, the robot vacuum cleaner needs to be charged via the base station. When the baery runs low during cleaning, the robot vacuum cleaner automatically moves to the base station and continues cleaning once the baery is fully charged. WiFi connection The blue WiFi symbol lights up when the robot vacuum cleaner has connected to the WiFi via the TECHNIMAX app and the robot vacuum cleaner can be found on the WiFi network. If the symbol is not lit, the robot vacuum cleaner is not connected to the WiFi. Dust bin full The dust bin icon lights up permanently when the dust bin needs to be emptied. The robot vacuum cleaner will continue cleaning even when the dust bin is full. Error If this symbol flashes, there is a problem and the robot vacuum cleaner cannot start cleaning. Possible reasons are a missing dust bin, or a brush geing stuck. Please refer to the information in Section 7 “Troubleshooting“, on page 33.19

5.1 Preparing for first-time use

1. Place the base station against a wall such that there are no obstacles within 50 cm of the base station.

Connect the base station to the power adapter, then connect the power adapter to the power supply. Make sure that the metal contacts (charging contacts) on the base station are free of dirt and dust. Otherwise, the charging process can end prematurely. If necessary, clean them with a dry, lint-free cloth.20

2. Open the top cover and switch on the robot vacuum cleaner using the power switch.

The robot takes about 20 seconds to be ready for use.21

4. Place the robot vacuum cleaner at a distance of 30 - 50 cm with the sensor unit facing the base station. Press

HOME on the top of the robot vacuum cleaner. blue The robot vacuum cleaner will now turn on and "look for" the base station. Then it will drive to the base station to charge the baery (the baery icon flashes). Before using the device for the first time, wait until the baery is fully charged (the baery icon lights up permanently). Like any lithium-ion baery, the TECHNIMAX SR1's baery is subject to natural wear. Over time, the baery performance, and thus the running time, decreases steadily. This is a natural aging process on the part of the baery and not a consequence of a material or manufacturing error or material defect!22

5.2 Operating the robot vacuum cleaner

Safety instructions before vacuuming. To avoid damaging the floor, remove pointed or sharp objects that could get under the robot and scratch the floor surface. The robot vacuum cleaner is designed to pick up small amounts of dust and does not replace a hand-held vacuum cleaner. The robot vacuum cleaner is designed to clean hard floors and low-pile carpets. It is not recommended for deep pile carpets. Dark carpets or objects can trigger the robotic sensors, preventing the robot from moving on or around them. Note that, due to the design, the robot detects obstacles by laser starting from a height of about 8 cm. Obstacles below this height are detected by the bumper. For small and light objects, we recommend drawing a no-go area in the app. Mirrors, glass panes and high-gloss surfaces aect the robot's sensors in such a way that they might not be recognized as obstacles. Again, we recommend designating a no-go area. > To start the cleaning process, tap the START/PAUSE buon on the top. HOME buon Send the robot back to the charging station.
